12-1/2 miles on the canal road to Perry Canyon up the North side switchbacks north on the upper bench and back. Perfect weather, but the trail was really soft and wet. At least it was not muddy. I love my Hokas, 'Lime Gatorade Hurl' Dirty Girl Gaiters, and my Road ID (Dawn got the Road ID for me so they can identify the body when I don't come back from a trail run.).

Smashed my right big toe moving our dryer. Cracked the toenail in half and bend/tore the inside half up. Bled and hurt like crazy. Hope I can run on it in a couple days.

Five miles south on the canal road. The rest of the day spent moving my parents out of my home into a 'senior living' apartment. Long day.
